General (24)
Is the venue in good condition?
Absolutely! We’ve been hosting events at The EDC Center since 2018, so the facilities have been in use only for a few years; consequently, wear and tear marks are not an issue that should worry you. Plus, tidiness and excellent presentation are what distinguish our event venue from others in the area. We are dedicated to the perfect upkeep of every inch to ensure the space is always clean and good-looking. Your event can be a huge success on our dazzling premises.
Is your venue suitable only for parties?
No, of course not. While we can provide ideal spaces for small celebratory gatherings like a special birthday party or a baby shower, we can also host large and sophisticated social receptions like weddings and corporate events. But that is not all. Our premises are commonly and satisfactorily used for hosting concerts, live recordings, and other entertainment presentations.
Can I throw a nighttime event in your venue?
Yes, absolutely. We have a set schedule for regular activities in our community center that covers the entire week, from Monday to Sunday, from 9 am to 12 am. Your event can be hosted during those operation hours, but it is also up to the prior agreement to extend it further and cover more night hours. We have 24/7 availability, so it is just a matter of discussing the details of your event and making it work for you.
Is your venue accessible to customers from other areas?
It certainly is! Our recurrent customers are, as expected, the valued residents of Indianapolis, IN, but our birthday party venue is ready to take on events from customers throughout a 50 miles radius. Our outstanding spaces have accommodated parties and all kinds of gatherings from customers in:
- Lawrence, IN
- Rocky Ripple, IN
- Meridian Hills, IN
- McCordsville, IN
- Fortville, IN
